I’m not sure if the Auburn-Opelika area is the best metro golf destination in the country, as Golf Digest claims, but it does have some great golf at bargain basement prices.
The two Grand National courses alone are worth a stay. Both the Lake and Links courses have $55 green fees and would be twice that at many other places in the country. They are that good, both designed by Robert Trent Jones. There is also a good short course.
Moore’s Mill and Auburn Links are also good as well as cheap.
Now, Auburn-Opelika doesn’t exactly set the night on fire as far as nightlife, and even the students at Auburn University are Bible belters for the most part. But, if it’s pure golf you’re after, you could easily stay a week here and never get bored.
